But although his physical body returned to the elements out of which it was formed, his genius still lives, and as the eyes of the world become better opened to an understanding of spiritual truths, he appears like a sun on the mental horizon, whose light is destined to illuminate the world of mind and to penetrate deep into the hearts of the coming generation, to warm the soil out of which the science of the coming century will grow.������� Contents: The Life of Paracelsus; Explanations of Terms Used by Paracelsus; Cosmology; Anthropology, The Generation of Man; Pneumatology; Magic and Sorcery; Medicine; Alchemy and Astrology; Philosophy and Theosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
